Service of Celebration

We are thrilled to welcome The Rev. Raphael Warnock, PhD, Senior Pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, GA, and United State Senator from Georgia as our guest preacher for our Service of Celebration on November 16th! Following the service, Reverend Warnock will hold a signing of his books; A Way Out of No Way (2022), Put Your Shoes On & Get Ready! (2023), and We’re in This Together: Leo’s Lunch Box (2025).

You can get your copy of one or all of his books from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, The Frugal Bookstore, or your favorite bookstore. A limited number of copies of each of his four books will be available for purchase on the day of the service.

We are currently expecting a very large crowd for this event. An overflow auditorium will be available for all those who do not make it into the main chapel. Those seated in the overflow space will still be permitted to queue for the book signing following the service.
